Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x varies directly as y then the equation relating them is

x = ky ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = 9 when y = 4

k = $\frac{x}{y}$ = $\frac{9}{4}$ = 2.25

x = 2.25y ← equation of variation

When y = 8, then

x = 2.25 × 8 = 18

Solve |2x - 5| = 4 I dont know what you solve for

ICE Princess25 [194]

Hello!

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x = 1/2, 9/2}$

|2x - 5| = 4

Solve for the negative and positive expressions:

2x - 5 = 4

2x = 9

x = 9/2

------------

-(2x - 5) = 4

-2x + 5 = 4

-2x = -1

x = 1/2.

Therefore, the solutions are x = 1/2 and 9/2.

Bess [88]

Answer:

45 and 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages be r and m

We have:

r + m = 117
5r = 9 + 3m

Substitute m in the second equation and solve for r:

m = 117 - r
5r = 9 + 3( 117 - r)
5r = 9 + 351 - 3r
5r + 3r = 360
8r = 360
r = 360/8
r = 45

Then m is

m = 117 - 45 = 72
